Terry,
We all know who they are, (lol)
Didn't know you could move the top ring ? that's news ?
I know our stuff has been checked at the track and legal,,,
NHRA & IHRA both have bogas stockers ,I bought one and had to spend to fix it !!
What I'm saying is that for a young guy wanting to build a stocker and not spend $ 30,000
the crate motor is the way to go. That's if you have the track's to race.

Maybe Danny Waters could jump in here. The last time I kept track of it all the pistion had to do was "LOOK STOCK" from the top when the head was removed as in flat tops, valve reliefs or correct dome if the claimed engine called for it. Havent heard much about tear downs in a long time except for those setting a record. Have any oil pans been removed in the last 12 years? I sincerly doubt ANY of the fast GM or N.C. Mopars are "Stock" in the head dept. Id sure like to look at a few that come to mind.
